Environmental injustice is the exposure of poor and marginalised communities to a disproportionate share of environmental harms such as hazardous waste, when they do not receive benefits from the land uses that create these hazards.[1]Environmental racism is environmental injustice in a racialised context. These issues may lead to infringement of environmentally related human rights.[2]: 10 [3]: 252 Environmental justice is a social movement to address these issues.
In Europe, environmental racism has been postulated in particular toward Romani communities.
According to Trehan and Kocze (2009), "EU accession for the post-socialist countries has resulted in a de facto centre and periphery within Europe itself, thus exacerbating the already marginal economic and political position of Roma in Europe whose communities continue to subsist as internal colonies within Europe."[3]: 264 This peripheral position, in which segregated Romani settlements and their inhabitants become viewed as de-territorialized zones "beyond the pale" of government responsibility and European Union citizenship,[3]: 264 has been identified by some scholars as an aggravating factor in the prevalence of environmental hazards (such as proximity to industrial facilities and illegal or toxic waste dumps).[2]: 19–20 [3]: 252, 263 [4]: 74–5 This practice has been identified in relation to the lack of basic services such as water, housing, sanitation[2]: 19–20 [3]: 263 and access to education[5]: 238–9 affecting marginalized Romani communities.
